SEALSKlN DYEiNG.

An ADerie4n Furrier'S Art Pros0unced
Superior to All Others.
The sway of the sealskin as a fash
ionable garment has been uninterrupt-
ed until very recently, when few
murmurs have been hesrd al
its affectation by all classes of feminine
society. The criticism of its degrade
ton must have been written BY a man
who is ignorant of the subject. There
are sealskins and there are sealskins,
and no woman With half an eye fails to
perceive the Fact The woman with q
$500 ulster dropping to her feet is just
as proud and conscious of hcr individ-
uality AMI superiority as the one with
a 800 sack is crushed by its frowsy
cheapness and inferiority. The man
who saw, or thought he saw, the seal
skin becoming too common for ultra
fashionables must be cousin-german of
the man who thought a woman could
be induced to lay aside her bonnet on
going into a theater and pay an at
tendant 3 quarter to care for it until
she came cut Admiral Fitxroy tells
us, as to changes of the weather. that
what ''long comes, long lasts The
seaiskin was long time coming. and
it is designed for a lengthy stay.
Apropos Of the subject. it may be in
teresting To know that American art
now excels foreign skill in the comnu-
nication of the quality so essential to
handsome seaiskin, namely, the dye.
What was known rs the London dye
held the vantage ground for years, UNI
til a furrier in Albany elaborated q SUI

immense fortune. He kept the secret
to himself so closely taaa he maintained

the ordinary course. but the secret WIS

Happily surprised.


Prof. Brown and wife closed their So

the South Brownsville school, on last
Friday, May the e7th. In proof of the
high appreciat ION und esteem in which
they were held, by the patrons Of the
school, as well a. others of their ucirii-
bors, they were happily surprised by
the presentation of un excellent supper.
given at the schooi house To the entire
school. as well as the teachers and vi-i-
tors, with short aud appropriate ad-
dresses made hy patrons OF the school.
The occasion WIS one of general en-
joyment; the shout Of childish glee: the
Infngling of vniees of older people in
social conversation bespoke the enjoy
ment of the hour. The South Browns
willie school under the able supervision
of Prof. Brown and wife, for the list
two years has made unusual progress
In all its interest, and they VIII leave
the school In much better condition
than when they commenced teaching,
and they also leave i'm the hearts of the
people pleasant memories cherished for
them. J. NJ. ;.

towns in the evening over the main

profitable % the railroad company, as
well a. am agreeable accommodation TO
many people who would avail them
selves of the opportunity of spending
a day in the cool, shady foothills. Con-
Seyances would be provided for taking
